    The game features impressive and detailed graphics, widely praised for realistic aircraft models and smooth performance without frame drops, especially considering its mobile platform. However, some users suggest improvements for ground textures, scenery, aircraft like the F-35 and F-18, and better overall mission visuals. While graphics are generally considered a strong point, a few players report occasional glitches, device overheating, and wish for enhanced visuals comparable to top console or PC simulators.

    • “The graphics aren't going to rival Infinite Flight for aircraft, they're not going to rival X-Plane for physics, and they won't come near the Aerofly games for either, but this is hands-down the best game for carrier landings (if not the only contender). The graphics are more than passable with excellent cockpit views, and the aircraft available are cooler than any of the other games out there (provided you're not an airliner fan).”
    • “The graphics are amazing, the simulator is pretty good too.”
    • “Awesome graphics enjoyed it thoroughly and after this game I'm not impressed by any other simulation game.”
    • “The graphics are bad.”
    • “Graphics below average.”
    • “Can't even go down properly, graphics are too bad.”

    The game's story mode offers a range of fun and challenging missions with realistic flight simulation, but is limited by a lack of mission variety and predominantly non-combat objectives. Many users find the missions difficult and feel progression is heavily gated behind in-app purchases, which restricts access to additional planes and mission content. Players desire more diverse, combat-oriented, and free missions to enhance engagement and replayability.

    • “For a game with no weapons or enemies, this simulator does a great job of making the missions fun and exciting with realistic objectives.”
    • “The graphics on this game are awesome and the variety of planes, maps and missions are mind blowing.”
    • “It's an amazing game, excellent graphics/gameplay, and I'd love to see this game with wars, takeovers and much more jets in it. Definitely a game worth playing, it's a great way to pass time while enjoying every bit of it.”
    • “You get about 6 missions for free and then you have to pay for each mission after that.”
    • “Once you pass the first 6 missions, you need to pay to move forward.”
    • “Waste of time and space of 247MB on phone storage just for 6 missions and only one aircraft.”
  • monetization

    95 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    3% positive mentions, 10% neutral mentions, 87% negative mentions

    The game’s monetization is heavily criticized for excessive and intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay, with many players forced to watch long, unskippable videos and encounter frequent ad pop-ups. Additionally, most planes and missions require costly in-app purchases, making the free portion of the game very limited and frustrating for users. Although some appreciate responsive dev support, the overwhelming ads and expensive microtransactions significantly diminish the overall enjoyment.

    • “I would definitely recommend this game to anyone for both the game experience and the graphics, but most of all the quick response of the developers. I made an in-app purchase today and didn't get the item after being billed. After reporting the issue, I received an email quickly, and the issue was rectified.”
    • “I love this game, no ads, and the graphics are amazing.”
    • “It will be better if the player won't buy the planes because some cannot afford to but are really interested in this game. I'm not telling you to remove in-app purchases from the game, but you could put a price on the in-game money instead, if you have one.”
    • “Too much microtransactions, too choppy, and too many advertisements.”
    • “I now have no access to the planes, you can no longer fly inside the cockpit, and to play the flight simulator you have to purchase another plane. Very disappointed and I'm still getting advertisements even though I paid money for the game.”
    • “Had this installed a while back and it didn't have as many ads but now you spend as much time watching ads as you do gameplay.”
  • gameplay

    The gameplay is generally praised for its realism, challenging scenarios, and enjoyable flight mechanics, making it one of the best flight simulators. However, several users note frustrations with locked content behind paywalls, limited access to planes, occasional technical issues, and control difficulties, which detract from the overall experience.

    • “One of the best flight simulators I have ever seen; it really feels like a pilot passing tough challenges in his or her service. The scenario and gameplay are very realistic.”
    • “The controls and gameplay are so realistic!”
    • “Love the gameplay of this beautifully made sim.”
    • “The VTOL mechanic is poorly designed.”
    • “The mechanic is pretty normal but when one scenario is free while the other scenarios are locked in a paywall (including the other planes) it really becomes annoying despite having to spend money on some scenarios and planes.”
    • “The flying mechanics seem less realistic and clunky.”
  • stability

    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from frequent and severe stability issues, including crashes, freezes on startup or during gameplay, and glitches that hinder aircraft control. These problems are widespread and significantly impact the user experience, with some players unable to play at all. While a few report smooth performance, the majority highlight persistent bugs and crashes that need urgent fixing.

    • “Personally, I find this game to be very good. Graphics are great, no glitches, not too many commercials, very challenging overall, great game, totally worth the download.”
    • “No glitches, no ads.”
    • “Perfect for me as an enthusiast. The quality is very good and no glitches. Very smooth graphics on my Note 3.”
    • “The game always freezes upon opening when it asks to install the Google Play Games app. If I click cancel to not install it, the game freezes and also causes my whole phone to freeze for a minute, so I can't even clear the app from the background.”
    • “You can't control the aircraft; everything just freezes when you try to take flight, and you can't even play the game.”
    • “I realized that with full controls, the landing gear doesn't want to come out, and if you fly suddenly, the game just freezes. Also, the game takes a very long time to load. Never had these problems before, please fix it.”
  • optimization

    The game generally runs smoothly with good graphics and aircraft performance, especially when mobile data is off. However, some users feel it could be further improved with better optimization to enhance overall experience.

    • “The game runs smoothly and certainly shows a very distinguished 'finished' look.”
    • “Characteristic of aircraft performance is good.”
    • “Very good graphics and improved performance.”
    • “The game could have been so much better if it had just been optimized.”

    Users find the humor in the game light and situational, often stemming from amusing flying experiences and interactions.

    • “So good and this game is so funny omg waa.”
    • “Kinda funny flying from back of an airplane.”
    • “But I would like to give you 5 stars if there's a multiplayer game so we can play together and do funny things with friends.”

    The music aspect of the game receives mixed feedback, with some users expressing strong dislike for the soundtrack and its relevance, describing it as frustrating or inappropriate. Others note technical issues where music either plays briefly, is missing, or causes crashes. A few suggest that listening to external soundtracks enhances the experience, indicating the in-game music is seen as lacking or problematic.

    • “I recently purchased the new flight simulator for $4.99 and when I choose an event in the game, it only shows skies and plays that '70s music.”
    • “Oh, play this game while listening to the Top Gun soundtrack, it's worth it... I feel the need, the need for speed.”
    • “After the Rortos sign, the display is black; the game cannot play except for music. Please fix it, then I will give a 5-star rating.”
    • “I recently purchased the new flight simulator for $4.99 and when I choose an event in the game it only shows skies and plays that '70s porn music.”
    • “All it does is play some music for a few seconds and then crash!”
